Hey....did you know that MVFC football actually kicks off tomorrow afternoon? Yup.

2:00 PM - Youngstown State at Samford (Socon), Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff on ESPN - Crampton Bowl, Montgomery, AL

There's also a game at 11 between Villanova and Colgate, as well as two FBS games (Miami at #8 Florida, and Arizona at Hawai'i) going on tomorrow.
The rest of the MVFC doesn't get started until Thursday or Saturday next week.

They did, although Samford was expected to be down, losing a Payton-award-winning QB, plus a WR and DL that are all currently on NFL rosters (https://samfordsports.com/news/2019/4/2 ... h=football). Just FYI, I checked, and they are all still listed on rosters, Hodges with the Steelers and the other two with the Broncos.

YSU played well, but it's hard to say if there wasn't a decent amount of luck with some of those turnovers that really benefited them. I'd say, Samford is going to be down quite a bit, YSU is still a question mark.
